What should I replace my Blastoise's Skull Bash with?

I’ve been told that Skull Bash isn’t the best move to know, so what should I replace it with? Mine knows Surf, Hydro Pump, and Earthquake in addition to Skull Bash. I was thinking about having it learn Ice Beam, but I already have a Pokemon in my team that knows that move.

btw, this is in X/Y and in-game

Competitively, take off all moves, even if you’re using Mega Blastoise or not. You should be using a Special set either way so EQ and SB would be worthless. If you are using the utility Blastoise, then use Scald|Rapid Spin|Toxic and a filler move. Maybe Ice Beam, Roar, Dragon Tail, and some even use Foresight, but that’s wayyyy overrated. Mega Blastoise, however, is a pretty decent offensive Rapid Spinner. Starmie has some advantages, but Blastoise does outclasss it in a few ways. Rapid Spin|Dark Pulseand either Aura Sphere/Dragon Pulse and Scald/Water Pulse.

Ingame: Get rid of SB and EQ, but keep Surf. Hydro Pump should go too. I’m thinking maybe not Mega looking at your moves, but if so, Surf|Dark Pulse|Water Pulse|Dragon Pulse. If not Mega, then Surf|Scald|Ice Beam and either Roar/Dragon Tail.

In game I would probably go with Ice Beam. Aside from that it depends on which game you are talking about, as Blastoise can learn a few different moves in different games.I doubt this is competitive, because most of those moves need changing if it is. But if you are talking about competitive, then Rapid Spin is a good move.
